Nature's Wonder

The first nasturtium's of this year's crop have opened up in all their glory. Such a simple plant with extraordinary colour and their pepper leaves and flowers go so well in a mixed green salad, isn't nature wonderful. These little guys are planted in the herb bed, right along side the chicken coop. The chickens have been having a grand ole time picking at their leaves through the fence. I am hoping to weave them up the fence to give the chickens a little more shade and keep the plants from taking over the herb bed.
